By the fall, with Toronto well out of the playoffs at 75-87, the Yankees were celebrating a 103-59 season - not to mention their 27th World Series title. On May 13 and 14, though, New York beat the Jays to kickstart a nine-game winning streak.

The win moved the Jays to 23-12 on the year and bumped the Yankees to 15-17.

The Jays rung him up for three runs in the fourth inning and iced the game with two more, including a solo homer, in the eighth.

For all the scorn he faced in the way of boos and handmade signs, Burnett was decent in opposition: he allowed seven hits and five earned runs over 7.2 innings, striking out three and walking four.

But Halladay was so dominant that he ensured the game was played on the ground, a setting where he had no chance of being beaten. The Yankees had five hits to that point, and had even scored a run in the seventh on a line-drive double and a rolling single. On the night of Burnett’s return, they didn’t manage that meagre feat until the ninth inning, when Brett Gardner broke up a cascade of groundouts and seen third strikes with a fly out to centre field. Usually, though, the Yankees were at least able to hit the ball in the air on occasion. In his last 19 starts against New York up to and including the Burnett game, he was 13-2 with a 2.09 ERA. That Halladay would make a point of shining that night was not exactly surprising, for one appreciable characteristic of his was that he almost never lost to the Yankees. “I expected Doc to do what he did,” Burnett said after the game.
